He said,“ Take his dirty clothes off.” He said to Joshua,“ I have taken your sin away. I will put fine clothes on you.”I added,“ Put a clean turban on his head.” So they did. And they dressed him while the angel of the Lord stood by.Then the angel spoke to Joshua. He said,“ The Lord who rules over all says,‘ You must obey me. You must do what I have commanded. Then you will rule in my temple. You will be in charge of my courtyards. And I will give you a place among these who are standing here.“‘ High Priest Joshua, pay attention! I want you other priests who are sitting with Joshua to listen also. All you men are signs of things to come. I am going to bring to you my servant the Branch.Look at the stone I have put in front of Joshua! There are seven eyes on that one stone. I will carve a message on it,’ says the Lord who rules over all.‘ And I will remove the sin of this land in one day.“‘ At that time each of you will invite your neighbors to visit you. They will sit under your vines and fig trees,’ announces the Lord.”
